Akaunting is a free and open-source accounting software. It is designed to help small businesses manage their finances and stay organized. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Akaunting on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before installing Akaunting, we need to make sure that our system is up to date. To do that, we will run the following command:
sudo dnf update
There are a few packages that are required to run Akaunting. We will install these packages using the following command:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-gd nginx mariadb-server
Akaunting requires a database to store its data. We will be using MariaDB for this purpose. To configure MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts to set the root password and secure your installation.
Next, log into MariaDB using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for Akaunting:
CREATE DATABASE akaunting;
Create a new user and grant them permission to access the database:
CREATE USER 'akaunting'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON akaunting.* TO 'akaunting'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Exit out of the MySQL prompt:
exit
